Trucking & LogisticsCompliance Management2MildDriver$ implied
Truck driver is confused about whether a second 2+ hour break legitimately pauses the 14-hour driving window under split sleeper berth rules, and suspects the ELD (Omnitracs) may be incorrectly programmed.
Omnitracs ELD pauses the 14-hour clock again after a second 2+ hour break, but the driver is unsure if the law allows that or if the device is wrongly programmed. The ELD does not explain the split sleeper rule clearly to the driver.

App Concept
RegsPlain ELD
An ELD that not only tracks hours but educates drivers on complex HOS rules like split sleeper. It shows real-time regulatory guidance, alerts when a break qualifies for a split, and explains why the clock is paused. No more guessing if the device is right.
Key Features
- Split sleeper rule wizard that walks driver through qualifying breaks
- Real-time clock status with plain-English explanation of each pause/resume
- Company configurable rule sets (e.g., property-carrying vs passenger)
- In-app chat with compliance team for quick questions
Target Users: Long-haul truck drivers and fleet managers at small-to-mid-size trucking companies (1-100 trucks) using ELDs
Revenue Model: $10/month per driver subscription, or bundled with hardware lease at $39/month per ELD unit
